In the recipe called life, a problem is one of the major ingredients. Problems are a part and parcel of life. Their nature varies but they are as constant as our breaths while we live. When we face any problem in our personal or professional life, we think that it is unique to us. That we are the sole person being tortured by its thoughts and consequences. This leads to self victimization. More often than not, it is a misleading perspective. Many people before us have faced, many people after us will face and many currently are facing a similar problem and coming out the other side wiser and stronger than before. Adopting this approach to problem solving helps make us feel less alone and alienated by the challenges that life throws at us. Mark Manson writes - "Life is essentially an endless series of problems. The solution to one problem is merely the creation of another." So life is not about avoiding problems but about finding better problems to solve and struggle for. Riya
